An autopsy completed Thursday confirmed that Allen died as a result of foul play.

Kentucky State Police are releasing few details at this time.

Allen’s body was discovered Wednesday afternoon in the garage, next to a four-wheeler that friends said he was trying to sell.

The victim's girlfriend was asleep inside the home at the time Allen was killed.

No one had seen anything.

According to Allen’s neighbor, Barbara Irwin, it was Allen’s girlfriend who discovered him dead in the garage.

“Someone was supposed to come and look at his four-wheeler and that's apparently where they found him, lying beside his four-wheeler in the garage,” Irwin said.

Rynn McGlinn, Allen’s former girlfriend and mother to his children, learned the news just a few hours after stopping by the home.

She and Allen had dated for 10 years, and she'd dropped by at noon to pick up the couple's two young sons.

“We just met and switched the boys back and he was fine,” McGlinn said.

She said the boys enjoyed a close relationship with their father.

In fact, a lawn chair still sits outside, where neighbors said he watched his sons play for hours -- even after working late shifts at UPS. Just one day after seeing their father, McGlinn said they're already beginning to ask why they haven't seen him since.

“I don't know how to tell my sweet babies they're not going to see their dad again,” McGlinn said.

Friends hope police will soon have an arrest and the family, and those boys, will soon have answers.

While police are not releasing the exact manner of Allen's death, they have told family they believe he was murdered between noon and 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Anyone who would have been in that area or knows anything is asked to call Kentucky State Police at 270-766-5078.
